Great video, i used to do a similar exercise, but got bored listening to myself playing up and down Arpeggios in a repetitive way, it was hard for me to make it sound musical and I lost my patience... But when i see you do it well it reminds me why it is so important to keep practicing these. You can quickly find your closest chord notes and be able to add extensions + connect them more musically over time to really make this practice routine fun again and actually use it while improvising without a brain overload, so thanks for boosting my practice motivation. :)
+1 Daniel's videos really bring a fresh approach! Im so motivated as well, and hope this channel wIll get the subs it deserves SPREAD THE WORD EVERYONE! 🎸🎸🎸

Just discovered your channel recently. Been playing for 50 years. You lay out things very clearly and I am picking up concepts that have eluded me in the past. Thanks for passing on the knowledge. And your playing is inspirational. Thanks again
@@WeissGuitar and just as an aside, my name is actually Tim. I forget that my account name was set up as @texaspete. Devouring the concept of enclosures. That is one of the things that I have been missing in making lines and arpeggios actually sound musical. Thanks again.
I'm not someone who comments on youtube easily. But I wanted to comment on this video to thank you! I am a guitar instructor who is very successful in classical music. I've wanted to specialize in jazz music for years, but I have never found a book or a video that explains the information in this video. Thank you very much, you are a great teacher. I wish you success and Godspeed. Regards
great lesson. Thank you. connecting arps is always a challenge for me and this is another idea to try and has good fretboard visualization elements included.
thanks man,,, where are you from?,, i love the way you teach,,, been playing along time, and your explain it to me with ease,,,,, im gonna pay your lessons soone. peace out. from S.C.
After a couple of vids your'e just what I'm looking for, excellent approach using scale knowledge and visualisation in a simple way that works, thanks you got a new sub. Just love how you manage to properly explain your thinking. There should be a "like more" button
Welcome :-) Glad it was helpful! check out some newer videos too, and stay in touch. also! lots of cool stuff waiting for you on my website weissguitar.com
I’ve recently found myself looking back at your old lessons and found a gold mine! Thank you for putting these easy to understand and apply approaches on RUclips. Bravo!! Btw great tone! Out of curiosity, what amp is your ES coming out of? Cheers!
Love your videos, thx for helping us improve! Small correction though, in the beginning when mentioning the intervals of the Fm7 arpeggio, you repeat 7 a lot instead of flat 7...after hearing flat 3 correctly, but 7 instead of flat 7, a little bit confusing. We still get it though, because of your finger position and Eb is flat 7 :p
You're right :) Thanks for the kind words! That means a lot to me (really) Also, thanks for sharing what you noticed. 🙏 I sometimes just say 7 like when someone says "dominant 7" instead of "dominant b7" or "minor 7" instead of "minor b7" but thanks for noticing! I'll keep that parameter in mind for future videos to help clarify things. I'm glad you're here, keep in touch.
very nice! at 03:06 when you start playing the first arpeggio your index finger barely moves! is it muting the strings? or is it not even touching the strings? could you make a video with some exercises on how to do that?
Hi, Thanks That's a good observation! Strings are lightly touched for muting other strings, which sometimes results in the touching of the strings I am playing, Depending on the tone I'm trying to get and Yes, of course! What about a video about muting and other techniques? Got a good title for it :)? appreciate you being here, stay in touch.
Wonderful lesson, thank you! Speaking of how to practice, would you rather suggest to stay in one position for a long time (like weeks) until I feel I master arpeggio patterns in it or maybe to change the position daily, in order not to feel stuck in automatic movements? Hope I made it clear! Congratulations for your channel
Hey Daniel, this stuff is great! Thank you for posting this, I have a question, when you want to approach a guide tone for example the third of a Bmaj7 chord, do you visualize the D# in the fretboard or do you visualize the root and then the third related to that? hope it makes sense lol
Thank You, and Great question, Leonardo! I am aware of the root but my musical attention is 'what can I do to that 3rd' :) if that makes sense. It on a subconscious level so always harder to answer objectively, but always a pleasure to try. Thanks for being here btw, happy to answer any questions you have.
Hi Daniel. besides being an excellent guitarist and teacher (I have your Galactic modern guitar course) you have a beautiful sound both clean and crunch, also in yours cd. What year is your Es 335 and what amp and overdrive do you use? Could you kindly answer me? If you don't want to or can't, no problem. Thank you
Hey, thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate your support and am thrilled to hear you're enjoying my courses and music. It means a lot! To answer your question, my ES-335 is a 2006 model. On my last album, I primarily used the Neural DSP Tone King plugin. For videos, I often rely on my HX Stomp with the Jazz Rivet 120 amp model and the AC/RC Overdrive from Exotic Effects. It's a combination that works great for me personally ( both for live shows and studio settings.) When performing live, I remove the amp/cab modeling from the HX and just use it for effects like reverb, delays, etc.-features that I also find incredibly useful for teaching are looping/freeze. Thanks again for being part of what I do. Stay in touch, and let me know if you have any other questions , Cheers! 😊
@@WeissGuitar Yes, maybe I deleted it by mistake. I wanted to ask you if there is any of your method on the market exclusively for technique, both for right and left hand. Thank you
@@leonsodati4325 Could you please email me some of your ideas and what you've been looking for at daniel@weissguitar.com ? Let's brainstorm together! I've been planning to launch a technique course very soon, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you’d like to see included.
Hey Daniel thank you so much for this. I’ve struggled with arpeggios for a while now, but finally up to the point where the shapes are familiar territory. I am now lost with connecting them together in improvisation. I do the connecting exercises, but still find that I am not achieving much. Can you suggest anything for this? Do I focus on playing the specific 3rd or 7th between each chord? Or just the nearest note on the fretboard? Cheers
You're welcome! It’s great to hear that you're getting comfortable with the shapes! When it comes to connecting arpeggios in your improvisation, try focusing on the voice leading between chords. Targeting the 3rd or 7th of each chord can create smooth transitions, but don’t hesitate to use the nearest notes on the fretboard as well! Here are a few suggestions: - Chord Tones: Start by outlining the chord tones as you move between arpeggios. - Common Tones: Identify common tones between the arpeggios, which can help create a cohesive sound. - Approach Notes: Use approach notes (like passing tones) to connect the arpeggios more fluidly. - Practice Slowly: Take your time connecting them, and gradually increase the tempo as you get comfortable.

@@WeissGuitar It is difficult to think in degrees or notes, I make many mistakes, but I like this video a lot, it is another vision of how to see the fretboard.
Great lesson. Am I wrong but you have perfect pitch right? If not are both your parents musicians? Ok at least one of your parents is a professional musician and you start playing at an early age of 4 or 5 right? Because you have the gift. You are playing from your heart and as you demonstrate these concepts and I believe you genuinely use this and are honestly sharing what you are doing, there is no doubt that your natural gifts are propelling your improvising- not these concepts. I could run arpeggios for years, and practice putting the bebop scale into practice, I do not sound like you. Parents are both tone deaf. If music was wiped from existence my Dad wouldn't miss a beat. You are a musical genius. A gifted individual. It's like Einstein trying to teach his advanced concepts to a bunch of 2nd graders. Avg individuals will never be able to play like yourself because they do not have the gifts you were bless with= whether they are in your DNA, or were the nurturing environment, you grew up in, or both. Which means all your concepts and lessons are pointless to the masses. Only those like yourself will benefit which is less than 5% of the population. Prove me wrong please by answering honestly: You have perfect pitch Both parents are musicians At least one parent is professional musician You started at an early age- below the age of 6 when the part of the brain that learns language is still developing Or all of the above. I'm very curious on your answers. If none of the above is your answer I will be shocked. I have tried to learn guitar for decades. I'm 51 years old and have reached a level of playing some rock songs and blues from memory, the art of improvisation has eluded me. And this was my focal point of my study. Tried years of ear training with no luck. Again I am 51 and since the age of 15 spent my life TRYING to learn this stuff but never being able to DO it. I believed in the hard work principle "if you want something bad enough..." only to waste my life away.

You should never refer to the minor third of a chord as the ‘flat’ third, they are two different things.
they're the same thing no difference to the ears just saying either you can play or you can't
